Faith at Work
REFLECTING A GOD WHO WORKS
WHAT IS FAITH AT WORK?
The gospel has unique power to renew hearts, communities, and the world, in and through our day-to-day work. Understanding how the gospel relates and shapes our work — both paid and unpaid — changes the way we approach it. Our daily work, when shaped by the gospel, becomes one of the primary expressions of love to God and our neighbor.
CONNECT
SPIRITUAL RHYTHMS IN YOUR WORKDAY
If we’re honest, it can be easy for us to go about our workday without being aware of God and his presence. At this event, we’re going to explore what it looks like to practically integrate spiritual rhythms into our workday to connect with God — whether you’re a homemaker, construction worker, project manager, or something else. This will be a fun and relaxed event where you can expect to connect with those in a similar industry or profession.

Date: Saturday, October 25 from 9:00-11:00am

WORKPLACE PRAYER GUIDES
On any given day at work, we might experience a number of challenging situations — whether that's dealing with a difficult boss, getting overlooked for a promotion, or experiencing a sense of purposelessness in our work. That's why we've developed audio prayer guides that address a variety of situations, so that they can help you pray through the specific situation you're facing.
LEARN
FAITH AT WORK COHORT
The Faith at Work Cohort is a 12-week, in-depth course designed to help you explore how the gospel applies to all aspects of your work. We’ve designed this cohort to be both theoretical and practical. Theoretical in the sense that you’ll explore lots of ideas, many of which are probably new. Ideas like common grace, ethical decision-making frameworks, cultural and workplace renewal, and so on. But you’ll also see how these theoretical ideas have real-world implications. You’ll discuss real-life case studies, complete application assignments, and participate in workshops to help you think through how these ideas can play out in your specific context.
Topics you’ll explore:
⬩Developing a basic theology of work
⬩Understanding your calling
⬩Applying ethical frameworks at work
⬩Honoring relationships in the workplace
⬩Developing God’s vision for your industry
⬩And more!
Given the limited number of spots available in the cohort, an application is required prior to registering for the course. There is no cost to fill out an application. If you have further questions prior to applying, you can reach out to faithatwork@ccclife.org.
